Rejected petition Make watching football on tv more affordable and let the UK watch 3pm games

I want them to have blackout games on tv for all in the UK (3pm games for premier league)
Amazon showed all games over the Boxing Day period and it was cheap and well done. Someone needs to have these rights (that aren’t Sky) and it should be affordable.

More details

I think it should be policed by parliament as the cost of watching sport should be capped and not monetised as Sky do. Make it a fee but an affordable one. The Amazon prime was a good example of how it can be done well and affordable.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Decisions about when to hold and broadcast football matches, and how much to charge for them, are a matter for the FA, the Premier League and the Football League, and broadcasters, not the Government or House of Commons.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
